Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Total investment by $ A=28000\times 12 $ Total investment by $ B=20000\times 8+18000\times 2 $ $ =160000+36000 $ $ =196000 $ Total investment by $ C=18000\times 6+16000\times 2 $ $ =108000+32000=140000 $ Respective ratio $ =A:B:C $ $ =336000:196000:140000 $ $ =336:196:140 $ $ =84:49:35=12:7:5. $ And distribution of profit among partners is same as their investment.

$ \therefore $ Profit should be distributed in $ 12:7:5. $
